We've been running a Toucan LT on bulk ink for about five years now. It was a huge mistake for us due to the fact that it was also our first printer. I don't know about you folks but we are signmakers, not printer techs. We have now put on line a JV33 and we intend to keep it on OEM...

Thanks!

I don't even show a sapphire blue in 3m translucent....

We've got a Toucan LT running third party inks. It has been a disappointing experience even with the cost savings. You're always worrying about how high the cart is relative to the ink level. Part way through prints we've had too much head and get ink drops all over, color gamit is different...

Can anyone give me the acceptable 3M translucent colour for Remax Blue? Thanks!!!

It appears this may be a more widespread problem than I ever thought. I am in discussion with other LT users and they seem to have the same problem in addition to prints growing in size. What is most puzzling is that we are not re-ripping files, just sending them back to print from the...

DSD, Thanks for that. We have noticed that some of our pinch rollers move better in one direction than the other. That may well explain some things. We are going to take a close look at that. Randya, are you running an LT? Now that we've gone this far, I just got off the phone with...

I get these from Reverend so and so and Mr. so and so... They are looking for everything from banners to posters to magnetics to you name it. Delete the minute you get!

I realize that the fact that the machine is bulk ink has nothing to do with this issue, just gives an insight on the history/origin of the machine. We have looked very carefully at the grip rollers and everything seems to be in order. I'm with you randya when you say you don't believe this...

This is a modified LT. It is an LT set up to run on bulk ink. While Mutoh says they find the issue self explanatory in the grab roller diagnosis, we are not the only on experiencing this problem. And interestingly enough, most time it doesn't matter on the average 'sign'. Where this really...

When I spoke to Mutoh they suggested it might be the grab rollers. That might make sense, but, how does one explain it changing in full print runs. In other words, on five panels run consequatively, one or two will be shorter/longer, and it may well be the middle of the run! On this print...

We have a Toucan LT, and are having feed issues. This problem has been on-going for some time now, yet had a very pronounced example of it the other day. The issue is inconsistant feed rate. Grrrrr!! We've seen examples where we pull a panel out of the rip archive and reprint and the panel...

Listen, thanks for all the help fellas! Think we'll keep her around for awhile.

Yeah, a lease with residual buyout option. A lot of pressure to keep the old girl rather than go into debt again for new machine. I'm personally thinking that things have come so far in the last three years that it may well be worth 'upgrading'. Don't get me wrong, this machine is well...

fair market is about 15k, trade in on this orphan .....good question! Problem is, we know it fairly well, but it's been 'push the button and hope for the best' I want to deal with a supplier that will help us learn our machine so we'll be pros. Our current supplier simply doesn't do that.

We are currently running a THS Squid 64" which supposedly is a private label Toucan LT, or Rockhopper, running bulk solvent inks. It was done by Treck Hall up here in Canada. While it's taken near on three years to get to this point, the lease is coming up shortly and we're trying to figure...
